AN: Hey welcome to my new fanfic. After some cufuffall I had evolving the storyline of my other fanfic that I am writing, I thought it would be best if I explained this storyline a bit better. This is going to be a seven parter – one for each book. I will probably end up using quite a lot from the original books but most of the time with a twist. To let you know if it is exactly the same as the book I will underline the text and it will be up to you to read it. This is going to take me a long time to complete, so please be patient. The main view behind this is – what would Harry's life have been like if his parents had survived that night? What if Lilly and James had been knocked into a deep deep magical coma? What if they were found unconscious and not breathing, so everyone presumed they were dead? What if by the time St. Mungo's found out that they were both alive the entire country thought they were dead and plans for Harry's safety were already being put in place? What if then they thought it was too late to stop all the plans and take back the announcement that Lilly and James were dead? What if they thought that it was best for safety reasons that until Lilly and James recovered people thought that they were dead?
Lilly POV
31st October 1981
He's gone... he's gone... Harry? I try to move to get to him, to make sure he's ok, but it hurts too much. That's when I hear his gurgle. I sigh with relief. Harry's ok. Voldemort is gone. James? No! I have to get to him. I hear a pop from apparition. No! I can't fight again. I can't even stand up. "Lilly! James!" It's Dumbledore, I mentally sigh. "No, oh James, I'm sorry we didn't get here in time." He sounds like he might cry. James can't be dead! No! James can't be dead! "Take him to St. Mungo's."
"Dumbledore he can't be dead can he?" who is that?
"It would seem that he is."
"No prongs!" it's Remus. "What about lily?"
"Get him to St. Mungo's. I'll look for Lilly."
I hear a pop from apparition. Soon Dumbledore walks through the door.
"Oh lily, not you to." What do you mean? I'm still alive.
He walks over to me and does some spells, then looks at Harry. "I'm sorry boy. Nobody thought that this would happen." A pop and Remus appears in the room.
"Is she...?" he looks down at me. He clearly can't bring himself to finish the sentence.
Dumbledore picks up Harry and looks at Remus. "I'm afraid so. I have to arrange this little boy's living arrangements. I'm so sorry to have to ask you to do this, but can you take Lilly to St. Mungo's?"
Moony looks like he's about to cry. "I just can't believe that padfoot would sell out prongs and Lilly. I mean prongs and padfoot were the closest. I just can't help but wonder at what point did padfoot want both prongs and Lilly dead."
I'm not dead! I try and do something anything, but I can't even feel my own breath...
31st October 1981
"Good luck Harry," he murmured. He turned his heel and with a swish of his cloak he was gone.
A breeze ruffled the neat hedges of Private Drive, which lay silent and tidy under the inky sky, the very last place you would expect astonishing things to happen. Harry Potter rolled over inside his blankets without waking up. One small hand closed on the letter beside him and he slept on, not knowing he was special, not knowing he was famous, not knowing he would be woken in a few hours' time by Mrs Dursley's scream as she opened the front door to put out the milk bottles ... He couldn't know that at this very moment, people all over the country were holding up their glasses and saying in hushed voices: "To Harry Potter – the boy who lived!"
Dumbledore's POV
1st November 1981
St. Mungo's
I laugh. This is the best news. I look at James and Lilly who lay in hospital beds next to each other. "So they should recover?"
"They might not make a full recovery, but with the right care they will probably make a pretty big recovery."
"Right well, for their safety and for the safety of everyone in here, it's probably best if we keep this secret for now. It would be hard to announce this after what has already been revealed to the public."
AN: sorry it's short, but this is only a tester. Tell me what you think please!
